These tires are great. My g/f has them on her infiniti i30. The tires ride and handle like a dream. The tires are also very quiet.

Go with the Toyo T1S. They look better and the treadwear is supposed to be better. I have had mine for a few months now and love them. They handle better than my T1R did

If u want all season, the proxes 4 are a very good tire. I have them on my wife's es300. Compared to the bridgestone re950's I replaced, the toyo's handle just as well, have a better ride, and make less noise. However, If you can afford it, the mich P/S All season's are an excellent choice as well. I use those for my winter setup on my gs430.

Were talking about apples & oranges here GS300......a ultra high performance all season vs. an ultra high performance summer tire. The Proxes 4's have a longer treadlife than the 2 Summer Toyo's you mention as well.

LEXISM, are you looking for a summer or high performance all season tire?
